BLBW Ep #12: Screw the Hustle: 6 Ps to a Pleasurable and Profitable Business

April 9, 2017

The impetus to hustle is strong out there. In the corporate world, in the online business world.

Struggling and striving is the way of the world, and many heart-centered business folks get sucked in. But the hustle isn’t sustainable. I’m not saying that success doesn’t require effort. I am saying, that success is a long game. It is a series of fundamental steps, vs a few grand slam moments.

This week’s episode was inspired by thoughts that came out of listening to a talk by Walter Nusbaum at Catalyst Denton (You can find his original talk here).

Walter’s talk got me thinking when he asked, “What does it take to reap the rewards?” I started thinking about the elements of pleasurable and rewarding success.

I came up with 6 Ps of a Pleasurable and Profitable Business.

1) Be Persistent

When one has the capacity to create big chunks of revenue, it isn’t uncommon to think “If onlyI can hit the grand slam home run – everything will right itself.”

If you put out a little paragraph out every day, it creates a cumulative effect

Do a little bit every day

Create continually

3) Be Patient

Exponential success factor – people often quit just before the success really hits

**Part of being patient is being persistent

Walter – “The rewards come at the end”

Where is my revenue? Seems like it’s going to pay things from behind…

Sometimes I think what job could I get that would pay my net… it would have to be a sales job. AND… I’m in a sales job right now… we all are… if you’re an artist/entrepreneur you are in sales.. you are worrying about your own problems instead of someone else’s for security
